This open tender is currently active and has a budget of £750,000, with a minimum contract value of £400,000. The tender period ends on 24 March 2017, and the contract will commence on 25 April 2017, lasting until 31 March 2021. The project is classified under research and development services, with a focus on data collection specifically targeting the services industry in Wales, United Kingdom. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in data collection and consultancy services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative approaches to economic measurement. Companies experienced in working with governmental bodies and those with a background in social and economic research will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, contributing to a crucial project that aims to deliver a detailed breakdown of service industry outputs in the UK economy. ## Notice The Office for National Statistics ('ONS') has a requirement to procure specialist data collection services to support the delivery of a new Services Turnover Survey ('Servcom') to better measure the services sector of the UK economy. An independent review of UK economic statistics conducted by Sir Charles Bean (March, 2016), highlighted the need to further develop the measurement of the UK service economy. The service economy accounted for roughly 80 % of the UK economy in 2015; however, the breakdown of the sales in the services industries is far less detailed than the production industries, which only accounted for roughly 10 % in 2015. The Servcom survey will provide a detailed product level breakdown of service industry output.
